Keep
your head up and your 'eggbeater' going, and you might play water
polo09/29/00One Monday morning I found
myself cutting my lap swimming short to join a bunch of guys I didn't
know for water polo practice. In the deep end of the pool I learned
how to swivel my legs "eggbeater" style, an effective way to tread
water for a long time. Next I tossed back and forth a bright yellow
ball to one of the guys. Then things started to get medieval. /

Opinion

Not a Dennis Miller
fan, to say the least(09/27/00)

Dennis is a bust. [see"Dennis
Miller should spice up Monday Night Football"]We football fans don't need
or want a comedian doing our MNF. You need a football "name" -- someone
like [Mike] Ditka would be good. You had some good ones in the past
and you let them go--please--Dennis has got to go!!

needs wide open spaces, room to make her big mistake. Looking
down from the ridge that USU student Dusty Decker and her roommate

Utah
State's back yard . . . my third home09/13/00
Despite warnings from the woman at the ranger station that people
often get lost in Cottonwood Canyon, we felt confident. The backcountry
trailhead begins just before you get to Tony Grove Lake approximately
25 miles from Logan. We found the place inhabited by many horse trailers
and nice people who said "hi" as we passed. One man warned, "you're
going to get cold up there," but this did not concern me. I will admit
the urge to borrow a horse and throw my pack on top of it was tempting,
but we were fresh and ready for a Labor Day weekend adventure.
